1 Corinthians 9:4-6; 1 Corinthians 9:12; 1 Corinthians 9:18 (New International Version)
4
Don't we have the right to food and drink?
5
Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas ?
6
Or is it only I and Barnabas who must work for a living?
12
If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
18
What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make use of my rights in preaching it.
